A Study of Drowning Cases brought for Autopsy in GMCH Mortuary
Abstract: Drowning is defined as the process of experiencing respiratory impairment from submersion/immersion in liquid; outcomes are classified as death, morbidity and no morbidity. Drowning is a violent asphyxial death, where air entry to lungs is prevented due to occupation of the lumen of respiratory tract with water or any fluid-media. Drowning is asphyxiation due to immersion in liquid. Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, accounting …

The Basics of Genomics, Proteogenomics: The Demands and Roles that Proteomics can Fulfil in Genome Annotation
Abstract: The science of genomes: scientists have only recently gone from analysing a few or a limited number of genes at a time to investigating thousands of genes, moving from the study of inheritance units to the investigation of an organism's entire genome. The science of genomes, or "genomics," was originally focused to determining DNA sequences (the nucleotide order on a specific fragment of DNA), but it quickly evolved to a …

An Update on the Virulence Factors of Actinobacillus Actinomycetemcomitans A Systematic Review
Abstract: Over the last 20 years, research on Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) a periodontopathogen, has provided a tremendous amount of information as a major anaerobic, opportunistic pathogen. Elucidation of the virulence in Aa is especially difficult because of this bacteri pathogenicity being multifaceted, including both microbial and host factors and the inability to clearly define the disease state of many forms of destructive periodontal disease. The objectives of this study were to …

Is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) a Boon for Implant? – A Case Report
Abstract: Implant placement has been a constant challenge in the field of dentistry. The success of implants has been attributed to their firm bone anchorage, referred to as osseo-integration or functional ankylosis. Osseointegration has been defined as a direct structural connection at the light microscopic level between bone and the surface of load carrying implant. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is autologous platelet gel, plasma-rich growth factors (PRGFs), or mere autologous platelet concentrate. …

Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor Arising from the Lower Central Incisor—A Case Report
Abstract: Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a relatively uncommon tumor that accounts for 2.2–7% of all odontogenic tumors. 59% of the AOTs are found in relation to impacted canines, of which around 40% are associated with maxillary canines. We describe a case of AOT where a patient reported to us with the chief complaint of missing permanent teeth in the lower front region. Orthopantomograph showed a well-defined uniocular radiolucent lesion extending …

Unilateral Transmigrated Canines with Associated Pathologies in Mandible: a Case Report
Abstract: Pre-eruptive migration of the tooth across the midline is termed “transmigration”. Tooth impaction is a common dental condition frequently reported in the literature. The most commonly impacted teeth were reported as third molars, maxillary canines, maxillary central incisors, and premolars. Canine play an important role in aesthetics and function in human dentition. Transmigration is defined as the migration of impacted tooth crossing the midline to the opposite side of the …

Factors Affecting Residual Ridge Resorption: a Literature Review
Abstract: Residual ridge is a term used to define the shape of the alveolar ridge after healing of bone and soft tissue after tooth extraction. Patients suffering from long-standing edentulism commonly suffer from this incapacitating problem, especially in the mandible. As it causes physiologic, physical, and economic problems to patients, the cause of ridge resorption needs to be identified. Residual Ridge Resorption is a progressive, irreversible disease, as a result of …

Splints in Orthodontic Therapy
Abstract: Splint is defined as a rigid appliance used to connect and mutually support teeth and bones. Dental splints are often used as short term treatment during orthodontic management, before orthodontic treatment or temperomandibular disorders (TMDs) occurring during dentofacial orthopaedic procedures. A new mandibular posture is achieved by occlusal splint, thus leading to a new muscular and articular balance. The splints work by distribution of force, normalising periodontal ligament proprioception, relaxing …
